Please Excuse Me Synopsis

Charley is trying to hold onto a job for a collection agency. He has arrived at his office late and is fired. Drawing on a very fertile imagination, he tells the boss a thrilling story, which we see on the screen, of how he had saved the boss' daughter from a band of Indians. That is why he was late. Great; the story goes over until the girl comes in to disclaim any knowledge of the whole episode. One more opportunity to hold the job is given Charley. He must collect a payment on a diamond ring or retrieve the ring. A strong man holds the bauble. Accompanied by the girl, this modern David goes forth to meet the 1926 Goliath. The first three rounds go to the title-holder but Kid David stages a comeback with the help of the girl. When Charley pretends to kidnap the girl, the giant shows undreamed-of chivalry and pursues the kidnapper. The chase leads to the office, where the ring which is in dispute is regained, to be used for an engagement ring.

An Amateur Devil Synopsis

Carver Endicott, a young sophisticate, is rejected by his fiancée for being too foppish and dull. When she feigns an interest in his father, Carver attempts to disgrace his family name by working as a farmhand and later as a busboy in a hotel. However, the newspapers only praise him for his self-sacrificing principles; and finding that he cannot bring shame to the family through menial labor, he takes up with a notorious actress. But when this maneuver also fails, he returns to his former fiancée, who has no further complaint about his being an inexperienced dullard.
